Knew I'd heard it on NPR.
As near as I can tell, it switches from 4/4 to 7/8 on alternating
bars...each phrase is 15 eighth notes long, staggered back with an eighth
note pickup, like so:
7/8 4/4 7/8 4/4 7/8 4/4
|1.2.3.4|1.2.3.4.|1.2.3.4|1.2.3.4.|1.2.3.4|1.2.3.4.|1.2.3.4|
x xxxxxxxx xxxxxxX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxX...
Gets in your head, doesn't it?
